Hello! Well, I was doing a MAJOR construction of my house, sold all of my theme items and changed my room names to the color of the walls and floors. I redecorated my rooms and I went to rename the rooms but it wouldn't let me. It said that the pet name was not allowed but the room had already been named! Example:

Room Name Before: Ginny's Room
Room Name Between: Stone (because the floor was stone)
I tried to rename the room Ginny's Room, but it wouldn't let me.

yea. the naming system has been messed up for a while. when you go to add 's on the end of a word, it gives you a message about how webkinz doesn't allow that word, or that its an invalid word. hopefully it will be fixed soon. just try switching things around. (ie.) i was trying to name a room Lucky's room. but it wouldn't work. so i tried "lucky the unicorn's room" and it worked!

Yeah, the naming thing is starting to frustrate me. I had the same deal as you, like my Leopard's name is Double D, and it wouldn't let me say "Double D's room"! His room is the Winter theme, so I tried putting some random name I put together, so I named it "Room on Ice" and surprising it worked! I can guarantee you're not gonna get the name you like, but if you just mess around with different words it'll work

I noticed that you can't use ' in the name and once you try it usually won't let you change it at all until you X out of the map, and get back in. But I'm glad to know you used to and maybe will again. All my rooms are now just the name of my pet, with no 's Room after the name.

Yes, quite frustrating. Pet names will only work (in my expereince) if the name is a "real" word and not always even then. Names like Candy, Spice, Pepper, etc. should work but names like Candace, Emiily, etc. probably won't. I don't even bother adding "room" because of the problems previously stated.
Oh, and I tried naming the room after the animal's name. It worked fine for cow, pig, cat dog, etc. but try using Saint Bernard, German Shepherd or Cocker Spaniel, or even Spaniel; you can only have so many rooms named "dog" and "cat". I ended up using Rescue Dog, Police Dog, etc. but ran into a problem trying to use the same system for cats; when it won't take Siamese want do you call it, the cat from Lady in the *****?
It seems strange you can name the pet but not the room, hope they get it corrected soon.

It's nice to see other people have had the same problem. I thought it was just me. I couldn't change the rooms names to anything for like 3 months. It was very confusing when I had 12 rooms that were just numbers. I had to walk all over the house before I could find the room I was looking for. But they finally started letting me change some of them, but only 2 or 3 at a time. Now all my rooms at least have a name that tells me whos room it is even if its not my webkinz name.

it can be annoying..i couldnt put the word german shepard or nikita (her name) on the map so i just put something like brown and black dog room...but now i have a rottweiler so it gets confusing especially when you have a lot of rooms!
